Immortal Road

Chapter 258  Unexpected Treasure

Shi Chuan watched Gong Yutang flipping through the techniques, but he was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

After a long time, Gong Yutang finally selected a few techniques, and it seemed that he could not choose.

"Uncle Shi..." Gong Yutang's words were a little bit of a tone of seeking advice.

Shi Chuan took a quick look at these techniques, and they were not much different. He selected one that was most suitable for cultivators with fire spiritual roots and said, "This method is okay. If you practice it to the foundation-building stage, it will not be a problem."

"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Gong Yutang was as excited as if he was about to build a foundation when he heard this, and hid the technique selected by Shi Chuan in his clothes.

Shi Chuan smiled without saying anything. Thinking back to the past, when Shi Chuan worshipped Shui Lingmen, he seemed so happy, and even felt very excited to practice the breathing technique.

"Uncle Shi, I will take you to the secret room of our Gong family." Gong Yutang naturally knew that Shi Chuan did not give him these benefits for nothing.

The two walked side by side, and Shi Chuan slowly said: "I will not take the treasures in your Gong family's secret room for nothing. I will exchange them for spirit stones or elixirs for anything I like. Of course, if some treasures are too expensive and I can't afford them, then I will definitely not let your Gong family down."

"What is Uncle Shi talking about?" Gong Yutang said hurriedly: "Uncle Shi, take whatever treasures in the secret room you like. Uncle Shi has given me a second life. With Uncle Shi's cultivation, I can't repay this kindness in this lifetime."

Not long after, the two came to a luxurious attic.

This attic is Gong Yutang's residence.

"Xiao Yu, let all the servants go to the hall and wait. Without my order, no one is allowed to go to the hall immediately, let alone come back." Gong Yutang said to the little maid.

"Yes!" The little maid agreed and hurried out. Not long after, she led more than a dozen servants out in a line.

"Uncle Shi, please come in."

After entering the attic, the two went directly to the second floor.

Gong Yutang moved his bed away, took out a few spiritual stones from a small box and put them on the ground. Soon, a circular formation appeared on the open space under the bed.

"Senior, please!" Gong Yutang strode in, and a white light flashed, and his figure disappeared.

Ishikawa frowned slightly and stepped in.

The two appeared in a dark little hall. Fortunately, there were a few moonstones on the top of the small hall, so they could barely see the situation inside the small hall. Ishikawa released his spiritual sense and took a quick look. In this small hall, there was no one else except him and Gong Yutang. And in this room, Ishikawa did not find any traces of formations.

In the center of this small hall, there was a round stone, the size of a fist, supported by a wooden bracket, which looked very strange.

Gong Yutang took out a dagger from his hand and drew a blood line in the middle of his index finger.

A few drops of blood fell on the stone ball and were swallowed by the stone ball.

The stone ball suddenly shone with light, and Ishikawa felt the whole hall vibrate.

The wooden bracket under the stone ball slowly separated, and the stone fell down bit by bit.

"Boom!" After a sound, the east wall slowly opened, revealing a dazzling light.

As the wall slowly opened, the cracks became larger and larger, and a secret room was revealed.

On the top of the secret room, countless fluorescent stones were inlaid. The whole secret room was as bright as day, and even the small hall was illuminated.

"Uncle Shi, this is the secret room of our Gong family. Uncle Shi can take whatever he likes. No need to be polite." Gong Yutang said respectfully.

Ishikawa took a deep breath. This secret room was the Gong family secret room that had produced a Yuanying period cultivator.

However, Ishikawa was not overwhelmed by what he saw.

Since this secret room was opened with the blood of the descendants of the Gong family, maybe there is some mechanism in it.

Ishikawa separated his consciousness and looked carefully. He found that there was nothing strange, and Gong Yutang had already walked in and started searching inside. Ishikawa then slowly stepped into it.

This secret room was not big, only more than five meters wide. There were five shelves. Arranged in order were: magic tools, elixirs, techniques for refining tools, techniques for refining elixirs, and cultivation experience.

However, these things were all used by cultivators in the Qi training stage.

Ishikawa frowned slightly. This secret room was a bit strange. It seemed that it was completely prepared for cultivators in the Qi training stage. There was not even a single item used by cultivators in the foundation building stage.

And there was another strange thing, that is, in this secret room. There was no technique, but there was cultivation experience.

Ishikawa really couldn't figure out what the purpose of the ancestors of the Gong family who built this secret room was.

"I came here once before, wanting to find some alchemy techniques to solve my stubborn illness, but unfortunately I didn't find the right one." Gong Yutang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

To put it bluntly, the things here are not only useless to Ishikawa, but also to Gong Yutang at present, only the magic tools are of some use. Gong Yutang will need the rest for a long time.

Ishikawa secretly guessed that the Gong family's skills may have been passed down orally from generation to generation, so they were not placed here. It's just that there have been no cultivators in the Gong family for several generations, so the skills may have been lost.

The magic tools on the shelf are of different qualities and different refining techniques. They should have been made by different people. This should also be placed here by the Gong family cultivators of successive generations.

As for the methods of elixirs and weapon refining, there are not many. They only record some common methods, and there are nothing rare.

Ishikawa took out a storage bag from his arms and shouted softly: "Take it!"

Four or five magical instruments and cultivation experience were put into the storage bag.

Ishikawa threw it to Gong Yutang casually and said, "I will choose some things for you for your future use. The quality of the things here is too low, but I don't like them."

Gong Yutang took the storage bag and was extremely happy. He had seen these things many times, but he couldn't cultivate due to the cold poison in his body, so he could only watch in vain. And he also knew in his heart that there was no cultivation method here, and unless he had the aptitude to reach heaven, it would be difficult for him to enter the Tao.

Before Gong Yutang proposed those two conditions to Ishikawa, he still made an important decision in his heart.

After getting to know Ishikawa during this period, he believed that Ishikawa was not greedy, devoted himself to cultivation, and did not have many intentions for the Gong family.

And Ishikawa may leave the Gong family at any time.

But the seventh-level Qi-training monk who escaped is like a bone-eating maggot, and he will definitely not leave easily. Once Ishikawa leaves the Gong family, this person will come back again. By then, there will be no rival for him in the Gong family. .

Therefore, Gong Yutang had to reveal the secret of the secret room in order to exchange the safety of the Gong family with Ishikawa.

Furthermore, Gong Yutang practiced Kung Fu with Ishikawa. Although he did not have the status of master and disciple, he still had a master-disciple relationship, and he also benefited from the secret room. Once the Gong family was in trouble, Ishikawa had to help.

Moreover, Gong Yutang was taught by a monk with such profound Taoism, which was definitely a very good deal.

It's just that Gong Yutang made a miscalculation. He did not expect that there was nothing Ishikawa needed here, not even one thing.

Gong Yutang couldn't help but feel anxious.

Ishikawa naturally knew what Gong Yutang was thinking, and said calmly: "You don't need to worry too much. Since I have agreed to the first two conditions, I will do it."

"Uncle Shi, this junior feels guilty." Gong Yutang frowned slightly, took out a small jade plaque from his arms, handed it to Ishikawa and said: "This is my ancestral gift, give it to Uncle Shi, otherwise I feel uneasy."

Ishikawa glanced. You can feel that there is vast spiritual power accumulated in this jade tablet. Even if all the spiritual energy in Ishikawa's body is extracted, it is still less than one-tenth of the spiritual energy in this jade tablet.

"Could this be a treasure left behind by the monks at the Nascent Soul stage?" Ishikawa secretly exclaimed.

"What does this thing do?" Ishikawa asked.

"What's the purpose? I don't know about this." Gong Yutang said with a guilty conscience, "But this thing is a treasure passed down by my family. In our Gong family, we only have this piece. I am not in good health, so my father put this thing away." On my body, but it has had no effect over the years.”

Of course this thing has no effect.

Because the spiritual power in this jade tablet will not be leaked at all. It is sealed in it by a clever technique. Otherwise, if it has been passed down from generation to generation for so many years, the spiritual power in it will have been completely consumed.

"This jade tablet is definitely a treasure." Ishikawa pondered and said: "Even for me, it is a rare treasure. But I can't see how to use it yet."

Ishikawa said this not because he didn't want this jade plaque, but after all, this thing is a family heirloom of the Gong family.

Gong Yutang's face turned red and he said: "Uncle Shi. Since I took it out, there is no reason to take it back. I also know from the ancestral teachings that this thing is precious, but this thing has been passed down by my ancestors for several generations. , I don’t even know how to use it. It’s like waste in my hands, so I might as well let Uncle Shi take it and make the best use of it.”

Ishikawa hesitated, took the jade tablet into his hand, and said: "I will accept this for now, based on your foundation building period. If you haven't built a foundation in thirty years, I can help you build a foundation. If you It takes thirty years to build a foundation. If I don't use this thing, I will return it intact. If I have used it, I will exchange it for a treasure of equal value. Within these thirty years, I will try my best to protect your Gong family. Safety."

Ishikawa knew how valuable this thing was. Such vast spiritual power was comparable to the power of a monk in the Golden Core Stage. Ishikawa secretly guessed that if he could figure out how to use this item, it would definitely be a very powerful treasure.

Gong Yutang was elated. He did not expect that a useless thing would be exchanged for such a promise from Ishikawa. This was far beyond his imagination.

He quickly knelt down and said, "Uncle Master Shi was so kind and kind that our Gong family will never forget it from generation to generation."
